Service
Puppy Development
Structured early development for working dog puppies before formal training begins.
What this service solves
Puppies destined for working roles benefit from intentional early exposure and drive development. Missed windows are difficult to recover later.

- Buyers planning to take delivery of a puppy and begin training themselves.
- Departments raising a litter for future working roles.
- Trainers raising prospects for green-dog placement.
What is included
- Social exposure with people and other dogs.
- Environmental confidence on surfaces, in vehicles and around urban distractions.
- Drive development through structured play.
- Foundation obedience appropriate to age.
- Early evaluation notes for the next training phase.
